The Saint Mary's College Library has launched an online guide to resources that help students explore concepts from the First Year Experience Common Reading, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Librarians Gina Lee, Patty Wade, and Linda Wobbe have compiled links to Library resources, including books, encyclopedia entries, articles, and videos. Explore the history of human experimentation in medicine, issues in race and health, including discrimination in health care, and whether genes can be patented. Current articles highlighting the 2013 agreement with the Lacks family are included. We invite you to visit the online guide at http://www.stmarys-ca.edu/library/subject-guides/hela-henrietta-lacks-and-medical-ethics.
